Some stuff still leaves me puzzled here. How can a 'Bollywood 'dance sequence be considered 'Miss.America's' talent? If someone’s born an American and claim to be all American, wouldn’t they have some original American talent to show and win the prestigious Miss.America title? Does a nation have to become so diverse that it'd loose its own identity? The most sad part is the dance number the winner performed - in no way shows how beautiful Indian fine arts are either. I find the performance to be more of mockery of classical form of the art.
I don't honestly think that any girl of non-Indian descent would have been crowned Miss.India in India or for that matter in any other country. Sonia Gandhi is from the Gandhi family which is still India's first family. Gandhi’s family had been loved and kept on high pedestal by the people of India through her fight for independence and thereafter. They celebrated the family's political victories and mourned each time they lost a Gandhi to extremism through generations. And each time they elected someone from the family to succeed their deceased leader. Yet, because of her Italian origins, Sonia Gandhi is taking a back seat when it comes to leading the country unlike any other person from that family. And that decision is expected and respected by the nation and most leaders.
Each country has its own talent and people capable enough to represent and lead the country. It is important for America to remain America and India to remain India. It’d be lovely see people from any country to stand their ground and take pride and humility in what and where they are from and represent their own country in its originality with its strengths and setbacks. We dont want to see ‘Miss.The Most Diverse Nation On The Planet”, but certainly love to see Miss.America without having to miss America.
Am I on the right thread...?

Did I write that this "steam-powered vehicle" was invented in China? I only write that the first known one was built there.
You made the claim that the horseless carriage was invented in the US. I simply provided a single example of "prior art", which disproved your assertion.
Rather than making a hyperbolic projection of what you think I wrote, maybe you should consider retracting what you wrote.
How will you react when (not if, but when) a Muslim wins? Sadly, I think the day will come when that happens. The slow, incremental chipping away of American cultures and values is a gradual descent down the slippery slope of having Muslims serving as Miss America.
Sure, Miss America and other such things are trivial. But it serves to mainstream them and thereby they garner acceptance for the more important roles.
You should be embarrassed by your constant blathering posts with no real thoughtful arguments.
It you disagree, state why. Stop the blabbering already.
True. We all know cultures change but its seems a crime to stop & ask if the change is good or bad.
Here’s a couple of American dancing moves...

We didn’t always have trash disguised as culture...
you missed the point.
I’ll say it in a different way .Times have changed and we live in a country where we have to have the first what ever.
Haven’t past contestants won with Tangoes, Flamenco Dancing, Mexican Hat Dances, Polkas and Dutch Wooden Shoe Dances?
Any Muslim in a bikini contest ain’t the kind of Muslim we need to worry about.
I happened to looking at this issue, in fact, for Miss USA, a Muslim did win.

I have no idea what she wore for a swimsuit, how she covered herself, etc. but it does say she got caught for DWI. Trained to be a wrestler?? I’ve always thought the Miss USA contest was a lot different than the Miss America contest.
I actually think there are more beautiful women than her about on the street but I suppose we have to have the first what ever.
It does tend to make hiding a suicide vest a bit more difficult.
A Muslim woman who participates in Miss America would be considered an apostate, as worthy of death as any Infidel.
if the best women wins it then fine, if it’s based on the first what ever then it’s pathetic and now she;s pushing her diversity crap and even has a group for it.
Next year the first cross dresser will win it and then the first homosexual woman.
We don’t have to have the first whatever, we just like to note it. Most recent winner of Miss America were white, most of the next batch are going to be white, though some may still manage to be the first whatever. If that one with the tattoo had won we’d be discussing the first tattooed Miss America.
She isn't hideous per se. But I guarantee you, right this moment, I could go to downtown Dallas at lunchtime and rustle up a mess of 'em far more attractive than this one.
we don’t but others do and they like to shout it from the roof tops especially if it’s not a white Christian Euro and in this case woman.
Question is , what will be the first next year because I can bet you it will not be a blond euro Christian woman next year and it will make the core diversity left wing loons very happy.
agree on both points.
I’ve seen better women this week and who did not have to be caked in make up/
The whole thing is stupid IMHO but everyone to their own
I can appreciate your point but I personally think such Muslims are the most pernicious. Those contriving to slickly pose themselves as ordinary people possibly represent the most danger. I recall that one of the 9-11 terrorists was seen as a "hail fellow, well met" type. I believe he befriended a number of Americans at a health club in Florida, thus adding to his disguise as a regular, congenial guy instead of a jihadist.
